SATURDAY, June II.
To-day the fisherman came around again
with his bread and mail. Among the letters
was one for Roy, and the writing I noticed
looked very much like a note I say once with
"Daisy" signed to it. Wonder if it is from
her! We are living a very quiet life now.
We hunt and fish and botanic. Roy is getting
along famously at the latter. Besides, we do
some reading, have finished "Pickwick,"
'Ivanhoe" and "Alhambra," and are now half
way through "David Copperield." I, hav-
ing read it before, prefer tho character Of
David, but Roy is fascinated with J. Steer
forth. Well, isn't it all right Steerforth
had many noble qualities. He sinned, it is
true, bullet US do as he asked, and think Of
him at his best! I asked Roy if the character
of Agnes reminded him of any one, and ex-
pected him as usual to bring up the name Of
that girl of his, Daisy. But he simply said
And that reminds me, no hasn't men,
toned her name since that night on the lake
when I told him of Francesca and my wan
dering life on account of her. But he stares
at me at times, with his wondering black
eyes, in a way I don't like. I verify believe
his boy wits have fathomed my story.
TUESDAY, June g.
To-day Roy asked me a question that has
set me to wondering again. What q boy he

lished once at least, and it would do no
harm if they should appear two or three
times. Not only this, but the great mass
ofour people have no means of knowing
what some of the important ordinances of
the city provide for, as for instance, the
fire limit ordinance. This ordinance with
some others of the most importance ought
to be published in pamphlet or some other
available form, SO that the people gene
rally will be able to obtain them and
thereby get an understanding as to what
they provide for as well as in what points
they are deficient.

One week from next Wednesday will
occur the corner stone laying celebration
and barbecue. and the people of Cheyenne
ought to be making a little more prepare
ton for the event, 1t has been recon-
mended by the committee that the day,
May Is, be made a city holiday, and to
that end calculations ought to be made
accordingly. 1t is expected that the
school children will take a prominent part
In the exercises, but whether they do or
not the schools of the city ought to be let
out for that day. While it is hoped that
there will be no need for their services, a
number of special police ought to be ap-
pointed for that day, and our business
men ought to arrange to close up their
places Of business at least during the exer-
cises.

Talking about ingenuity" said n
drummer to n reporter, Il want to tell
you what 1 saw last winter out west. l
was on n train That was showed in for
three days. The company sent us food,
but they didn't send any cigars, and the
train boys stock was exhausted the first
day. In the express car we found and
confiscated a box of smoking tobacco, but
there wasn't a pipe IN the train. Among
the passengers was a Connecticut Yam
kee who was just dying for a smoke. He
got out in the snow and looked around
for a weed or something of that sort,
which he might use in making a pipe,
but couldn't find a thing. I'm going to
have q pipe, anyhow, he said. So he
took a lead pencil, opened the wood, took
out the lead, and, placing the two strips
together again, wound them tightly with
the tin foil which came out out Of the
packages of smoking tobacco, making
them air tight. Then he took an apple,
followed a bowl out of it, and had one of
the incest pipes you aver saw. If you
don't believe it, make n for yourself
some time and try it. "-Chicago Herald.

ADJUSTING INDIAN CLAIMS.
a Special Agent Investigating for the
Government.

Special Indian Claim Agent Poole is in
the city for the purpose of investigating
matters regarding claims for damages
resulting from Indian d~epredations COM
mitted, some of them, at least, several
years ago. Until within a very recent
date the government has had to RELY
wholly on the evidence furnished by the
claimants themselves in adjusting these
matters, but about one year ago it was
thought best to take a new departure in
adjusting these claims, and to this end
congress appropriated the sum of 800, 900
for the purpose Of defraying the expen-
ses and paying the salaries of agents to be
sent out from Washington for the pur-
pose of making dilligent inquiry into the
legality of claims then and now pending.
Mr.. Poole is the agent who has been
sent out to Wyoming and Nebraska, and
for some months he has been quietly en-
gagged in the work and at present his
headquarters are here in CHEYENNE.
One Of the claims before the depart.
ment was filed by Bob McCanly, of
Atlantic City, Wyo.. and j. G. Abney, Of
this city. In 1868 they put up about 100
tons of hay a few miles north of Sidney,
Neb and after it had been cut and
stacked the Indians made a descent in
force and set fire to it and burned it up.
The hay press WHICH had been used had
to be abandoned and was afterwards taken
by Frank Yates and another party over
upon Pumpkin creek, and some years
later was brought to Fort Laramie, where
all that remains of it is still to be found.
Hay at that time was worth $50 per ton in
Cheyenne, but the claim filed was only for
$1,000, when it might Justly have been a
much larger sum.

POLICE VS.. SOLDIERS.
Battle Between Policemen and a squad
of Soldiers.

At about 2 o'clock yesterday morning a
lively battle occurred between the Chey-
enne police force and q squad of seven
soldiers, almost in front of the city hall,
and although there were only four police
men-Messrs. Nolan, Sullivan, ingalls, and
Thomasson-the soldiers got tho worst of
it and five Of the number were captured
and locked up in the calaboose, the other
two making good their escape il the
darkness.
The row seems to have been nothing
more nor less than an attempt on the part
of the soldiers to clean OUT" as they ex.
pressed it, the Cheyenne police force on
general principles, and in making the at
tempt blows were struck on both sides and
some exceedingly rough work was in
dulged in. The FIVE soldiers were Judi
cially dealt with in the police court yester-
day, and all but one of them are still
locked up.
1t is but fair to state that the soldiers
were all of them more or less intoxicated
and were a much different class of men
from a vast majority Of the 18th infantry,
for nine out of every ten of the members
of that regiment, judging from their con-
duct in Cheyenne, appear to be orderly IN
every respect.

The members of the Cheyenne fire
department have settled their differences
of opinion about the DroDriety of reor-
ganizing the relief association. The asso-
citation is now virtually r%eorganized and
the question of who were entitled to mem
bership therein was arranged in this way:
That where the record of each particular
company showed that a would be. member
of the association had paid the requisite
fee, no matter whether the association had
received it or not, then the party so pay
ing is entitled to a membership in that
society. The money belonging to the
relief association (some 5000 has been
turned over TO its new treasurer, Geo. E.
Bescherer, and is now available for asso
citation purposes.

THE ball keeps rolling along" said a
well-known citizen yesterday, ''and the
boom is still on deck" Although the
outward signs are not to be seen so num-
erously as they were two weeks ago. yet
unimproved real estate is being bought
and sold every day, and lots and blocks
are CHANGING hands on every side. The
recent heavy purchase of unimproved
property by the Cheyenne & Burlington
Railroad company has had a tendency to
turn the attention of m~oneyed men in
that direction, and doubtless from this
time on purchases of this class of proper
ty will be more frequent than it has been
thus far since the boom struck the city.
The most encouraging phase of the
boom, however, is that many of the
"boomers'' are beginning to talk about
building tenement houses, business blocks.
and in some cases land in more very soon
this is already being done.

Il. & NJ. Contractors.

As stated by THE LEADER some three
weeks ago, Col. j. Allen, or more proper
ly speaking, the firm of Allen Bros, have
the contract for grading about thirty miles
of the Cheyenne & Burlington road from
Cheyenne in an easterly or nearly south
easterly direction. Col. Allen has re-
turned to Cheyenne from Laramie and is
now making preparations to engage act.
lively in the work before him. There are
as yet some preliminaries to arrange, but
by the middle of next week active opera
tons will doubtless begin and at a point
close to the outskirts of the city. Wheth-
er any portion of the twenty five or thirty
miles which have been let to Allen Bros.
will be sub.let by them is not definitely
known as yet, but one thing is certain,
there will soon be an ample opportunity
for both men and teams to find employ
ment.

Our readers will observe the advertise
ment of the well known hotel, THE
Cozzens," kept by our former townsmen,
Robert Law, one Of the most genial OF
men and the prince OF hotel men. Mr..
Law tells THE LEADER that he wants all
his old friends, including the best families
of Cheyenne, to try his house, and he is
suro of pleasing them all. Mrs, Law
makes a specially of entertaing the ladies
and children, and Bob" feels capable OF
caring for the adults, the merchants,
mechanics and cattlemen of the West.
The Cozzens is the coolest and best sum
mer house in Omaha, being provided
with large porches and a dining room that
will seat one hundred guests.
